One interesting point is why I wanted to know. I had a funny situation where I had done an update thru synaptic with no problems. The update included the next version of the kernel. So when I rebooted to let the update take effect, it didnt reboot, but instead gave me an error message saying the kernel image was corrupted(the check sum didnt match). Then I rebooted to the previous version -5,which was still ok. After that I wanted to record all the error messages so I rebooted to -6 expecting it to fail as before. But no, it booted with no problems which left me mystified. So, finally, here's the point. I wanted to know for sure what version I was running and it was -6. Now my mind is at ease. I am sure I am back to the correct version. Thanks very much. It is very useful to know where you are and what's what.<BR/>ChuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21102333.post-65966084174763329402008-08-03T11:00:00.000-07:002008-08-03T11:00:00.000-07:00very useful.Tried it and it works fine with SuSE t...very useful.<BR/>Tried it and it works fine with SuSE too.<BR/><BR/>Tachyon<BR/><BR/># lsb_release -a<BR/>LSB Version: core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.0-x86_64:desktop-3.1-amd64:desktop-3.1-noarch:graphics-2.0-amd64:graphics-2.0-noarch:graphics-3.1-amd64:graphics-3.1-noarch<BR/>Distributor ID: SUSE LINUX<BR/>Description: openSUSE 10.2 (X86-64)<BR/>Release: 10.2<BR/>Codename: n/aAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21102333.post-18762869717528035842008-06-03T13:11:00.000-07:002008-06-03T13:11:00.000-07:00It's so greats!

There can be implemented some explenation, and one of them is how to recognize bit version of instaltation (usally in the name of kernel vesrion).<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>PetarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
